Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) met on Tuesday with former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev as part of his weeklong trip to Russia.
Paul praised Gorbachev after the meeting, saying he understood the "critical necessity of engagement" between the United States and Russia.
“President Gorbachev was instrumental in bringing down the Iron Curtain and restoring ties with the West. ... Our conversation further encouraged me that open dialogue between our two nations does not have to be a thing of the past," Paul said in a statement.
He added that while he discussed "various items" with Gorbachev, who was the final leader of the Soviet Union, the "importance of nuclear disarmament was greatly discussed."

Because you said so, isn't explaining anything. you - "Do you know who I am?" lol
Another poster mentioned something but you shouldn't try and take credit for that, since you weren't involved, just to boost your self importance. It hasn't worked in the past so why would it work now?

Because you said so there is no need for proof? We should just listen to you? If someone with 11 years of experience was in agreement with me and offered no proof, they'd then be more believable?
Like I said, your arrogance is showing.

So what you're saying is, no one changes their vote based on questions during those hearings? I don't believe that since "evidence" of "wrong doing" is outted during these meetings.
You said rarely, so you do believe it happens?
What about Flake and NASA head Jim Bridenstine?

So why do Congress critters get up in front of Congress and make speeches if it does no good? Here's a bill or appointee, no discussion just vote on it mentality?? Informing people is a bad thing? Common Sense 101.
You're making a mountain out of a molehill imo.

Glenn Jacobs, the towering 6-foot-8 giant of a professional wrestler best known as Kane in the WWE, has won an election to determine the next mayor of Knox County in Tennessee on Thursday night.
Jacobs, 51, had nearly two-thirds of the more than 80,000 total ballots cast, according to Knoxville ABC affiliate WATE. He was opposing Democratic nominee Linda Haney in the heavily Republican Knox County.
It was a far cry from Jacobs' victory in the Republican primary race, which he won by just 23 votes back in May over Knox County commissioner Brad Anders.
In a professional wrestling career that stretches back to the early 1990s, Jacobs became one of the longest-tenured performers in WWE history. He is a former heavyweight champion, and performed inside of the ring under his famous red mask as recently as July 15 at a WWE pay-per-view event in Pittsburgh.
